Majellan front covers
There have been many wonderful front covers. On the following pages we feature some of the most memorable.
A family favourite
Over the years the Majellan House chapel was a favourite with families for blessings and Masses.
Our new home
Like the Redemptorist priests and brothers who moved from Ballarat in 1963, the current Majellan team went in search of a new home once the decision was made to sell Brighton.
A special Easter
Easter Saturday Night at Byron Bay. The church was in semi-darkness and except for the odd sniffle there wasn’t a sound. The visitors to the small-town church wondered what was going to happen. There was an air of excitement about the place.
Magic of mothers
Mum, madre or mutter: it doesn’t matter what language as it all translates to love. So, Mother’s Day? Not quite sure what this means for most women. I know for me, a mum of two daughters aged six and eight that so far it hasn’t meant a day of R&R. With early risers, 6.30am is the latest I sleep in.
Majellan editors
The Majellan has had only six editors in its 73-year history, Father Fr John Hogan being the first. Fr Bill Stinson took over the reigns in the 1950s.
The family community
Numerous priests and brothers were part of the Redemptorist community during the 58 years at Brighton. They came from interstate and overseas. Some religious, such as Fr Bill Stinson and Bishop Paul Bird, stayed many years while the tenures of others were more fleeting.
A beautiful home
So majestic is Majellan House in Brighton it has appeared in Australian Home Beautiful on three separate occasions, including on the front cover twice.
